Film Makers, The Story Of The Road

Apr 28, 2020

Melbourne based Jacqueline and Claire's production company, Clothesline Content produced the documentary, The Story of The Road, and created all the content for the I Am 100 festival; celebrating 100 hundred years since construction began on the iconic, Great Ocean Road.

They’ve created content for the biggest shows on Australian TV and are now creating video content online.

It has been more than 100 years since construction began on the Great Ocean Road. It was built of WW1 veterans (the original ANZACS). The road is not only one of the most travelled tourist destinations but it has also been called the greatest, longest war memorial in the world.

We are fortunate to be hearing from film makers Jacquiline Tonks & Clare Falkiner about the making of their documentary The Storey of the Road which reveals some of the stories behind the war heroes who came back home from WW1 to build a remarkable legacy. A most appropriate topic being just after ANZAC Day.

The NBN In Our Area

Back By Popular Demand! The NBN will be installed in our area around this time...you may have further questions for Wally.

Wally is part of the nbn local Community Affairs team in Melbourne.

He writes: 'My role is to meet with local community and residential groups to help educate them about nbn and what it means for them. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure the community has all the necessary information during the rollout of the nbn network and have the ability and a forum to ask any questions and troubleshoot any problems you might have.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A that covers some critical areas such as: • What is nbn • What it means for the members and how to connect • How the nbn affects your existing landline phone and medical alarms • Power outages • Scams to be wary of.

*Just to clarify, this service is purely for the benefit for the members. We are not here to sell anything as the nbn is the wholesaler (not a phone or internet provider). ' *

Forensic Archaeology, Some Case Studies

Dr Louise Steding teaches Criminology and Forensics at Swinburne OnLine (SOL) for Swinburne University of Technology. A forensic specialist, she combines criminology and forensic archaeology in search and recovery methods. This involves detailed research, landscape interpretation, criminal profiling, use of ground penetrating radar, excavation techniques and human bone recognition. Her methods are applied to unsolved cases of deceased missing persons.

Louise's doctorate also joins criminology and archaeology, to examine perspectives of crime, punishment and prison design, along with access to resources and interior spatial relationships within historic institutions. She has worked with juvenile offenders and as an osteo-archaeologist. Much of her mainstream archaeology had to do with our convict past, prisons, and excavation of human remains from Colonial Australia to the burial grounds of Renaissance, Bronze Age and Neolithic Europe. Louise has served on the National Membership Committee of the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc (AACAI) and as Chair of the AACAI Branch for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. She is also a full professional member of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society.

‘Rotary’s Four-Way Test: A Theoretical and Practical Critique’

Jun 16, 2020

After referring to the origins of Rotary’s Four-Way Test, the presentation poses the question whether it remains a relevant and practical guide to decision-making in the modern world. This question is examined by analysing each part of the Test through the lens of ethical theory. Four ethical theories on how we should answer the question ‘how should I act?’ are described. Each theory is applied to the four parts of the Test to see whether they assist in developing options that satisfy the Test. Finally, a decision-making process for satisfying the Four-Way Test in ethically complex or ambiguous situations is proposed.

Voting: New Constitution and By Laws

Not only are they great social and fellowship occasions, but they give members and guests the opportunity to reflect on our wonderful organisation of Rotary, its goal of achieving world understanding and peace, and most importantly, the achievements we have made in our local communities and across the world.

Changeovers also give us a time to recognise and thank the outgoing President, his/her team, and all those who helped during the year.

It also gives us time to recognise and encourage those who have put their hands up to ensure the future success of our clubs, the District and our wider international organisation'.
